This California ground squirrel seems quite pleased with how its day is going. Perhaps because it found a spot devoid of any rattlesnakes, eagles, foxes, badgers, weasels, and raccoons — all of which, consider ground squirrel’s quite delicious for dinner. These squirrels are common (as the name would suggest) in California and in Oregon, and have been pushing their range even further north into Washington state.

I’m reminded of a British comedy bit in which starving sailors in a lifeboat argue their personal deliciousness with an eye toward whom should be eaten. A rollicking good one-that.
